Asbestos Disposal In Inverness

Asbestos has been around since before the 19th century, and it became popular in the construction industry as an affordable material with many useful properties including soundproofing, strength, and resistance to fire and heat. However, over the recent years it has become apparent that frequent exposure to it can cause respiratory diseases and problems with your lungs, so many people choose to have it removed from their houses. Here at NJS Scotland Ltd we offer a removal service for asbestos that has been exposed to air, which is when it is the most dangerous. With over 20 years of experience working in the industry, our team can provide asbestos disposal services for chrysotile, amosite and crocidolite.

Where Is Asbestos?

Many properties feature Artex ceilings, which are textured or patterned, and they were very popular around the 1980s. Asbestos is sometimes used in Artex ceiling patterns as a strengthening agent, so we would recommend that you have a survey carried out by us to find out if it contains it. It is also sometimes found in floor tiling and vinyl sheets in older properties, or as a layer underneath your carpets. You can find asbestos located in garage roofs, because as they have fire resistant properties, they can reduce the risk of fire spreading. Especially in older domestic buildings, asbestos can be found in many locations, including within the:

Flashing

Why Is Asbestos Dangerous?

Asbestos, when undisturbed and unexposed, is usually harmless. It is particularly dangerous when it is in dust, fibre or powder form and you breathe it in over a long period of time, although short-term exposure can still be dangerous. Our professionals can provide an asbestos testing service for your home and provide you with advice on how to deal with it. If there is exposed or widespread asbestos in your home, this could be dangerous for you and your family, so we provide thorough asbestos disposal services that only take a day. Asbestos particularly affects maintenance workers, electricians, plumbers, joiners and plasterers, as they are frequently exposed to situations where the asbestos fibre has been released to the air. As a result of frequent exposure, you can become a victim of a number of serious diseases, including mesothelioma, lung cancer, asbestosis and pleural thickening.

Garage Roof Replacement

Asbestos garage roofs are popular in houses in the UK as it has many useful properties including being highly resistant to water and erosion, however the material was deemed dangerous in 1999.

Our team can remove your current roof from your garage and replace it with a safe, durable one that requires little maintenance.
